Let’s do something a little different. Let’s assume you know how to cook. I don’t mean gourmet cooking – that would be a bonus, but not necessary. Let’s also assume you like to watch movies. Let’s look at some movies that would pair nicely with distinct styles of cooking.

French

Julie & Julia

Ratatouille

Babette’s Feast

Italian

The Godfather

Big Night

Under the Tuscan Sun

Moonstruck

Chinese

The Joy Luck Club

Eat Drink Man Woman

The Chinese Feast

The God of Cookery

Rice Rhapsody

Japanese

Tampopo

The Ramen Girl

Supermarket Woman

Seagull Diner

Tortilla Soup

A Walk in the Clouds

Greek

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Mamma Mia!

Finally, let’s remember that take-out is a viable option if you want to skip the cooking and get straight to the movies.
